What you can do
Mosquitoes breed in standing or stagnant water. The City’s Parks and Recreation Department uses
bacillus thuringiensis
(Bt) larvicide tablets on public property (such as parks) to treat any standing water that cannot be drained. Bt is a naturally-occurring bacteria that is harmless to people and most pets but it interrupts the reproduction cycle of mosquitoes. You can find Bt for home use at most “big box” hardware retailers.
As part of its
Fight the Bite
campaign the Health District recommends the
3 Ds
of mosquito safety.
- Drain standing water in flower pots, pet dishes or clogged gutters so mosquitoes don’t have a place to breed and treat water that can’t be drained,
- Defend by using an EPA-approved insect repellent, and
- Dress in long sleeves and pants when outdoors.
In addition, the City’s Code Enforcement Division is focusing its efforts on mosquito abatement throughout the community. If you are aware of a location of stagnant water on public or private property, please report it to the City’s Code Enforcement Division via the CP Connect 2.0 app or
www.cedarparktexas.gov/ReportaProblem
